Do you feel ostracized as a black nerd/dork? Charles Barkley once said that "there's nothing sadder than a black nerd". What do you think about those words, and while we're on the issue, what is gaf's opinion on the whole "act white" thing?
Well first of all, Charles Barkley says dumb shit habitually, so I'm not even gonna take offense to a comment from him. Anyway, I don't have a problem being a black nerd. I've heard the "You're the least black person ever" and stuff. Partially cuz I'm not the stereotypical thug, partially cuz I'm light skinned but, ironically it was from non-black people. I've really not had too much trouble with other black people. Even back in HS, when I go into MIT, the other black kids I knew were more excited by it than I was! I'm not sure what GAFs opinion on it is. I feel there are enough black people that it doesn't really get said too much
